Hamburg & Elbe River
Clear views of Germany's largest port city and the winding path of the Elbe river shortly after departure.
Great Belt Bridge
A spectacular view of the massive suspension bridge system connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.
Copenhagen & Øresund
Excellent visibility of the Danish capital and the bridge-tunnel link connecting Denmark to Malmö, Sweden.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands, islets, and rocks that characterize the approach into Arlanda.
Drottningholm Palace
If the flight path approaches from the south, look for the UNESCO-listed royal residence on the island of Lovön.
Sit on the right side for the iconic 'Scandinavia view'. You will pass directly over or near major urban centers. Be alert approximately 20-30 minutes before landing for the best views of the Swedish coastline and the archipelago. In winter, keep in mind that northern light fades early, so aim for a midday flight to see the snowy landscapes.

Wadden Sea & Frisian Islands
Unique aerial views of the Dutch and German barrier islands and the intricate patterns of tidal mudflats.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines visible in the North Sea off the coast of Germany and Denmark.
Jutland Peninsula
The rugged western coastline of Denmark featuring expansive sand dunes and agricultural landscapes.
Swedish Wilderness
Dense, dark green boreal forests and scattered blue lakes typical of the Småland region in southern Sweden.
The left side is ideal for morning flights as it stays in the shade, providing better conditions for photography of the North Sea coastline. It is also the side to choose if you want to see the sun set over the water on evening flights during the summer months.
